Auguste is trying too hard. Just keep it simple. Find the gaps and feed Johnno the strike!

In reply to voiceofreason

Impressive from Charles!!! Innovation of the highest order and well thought out!!!

4444 from Johnno to end an otherwise quiet over from Theekshanna!

36/1 after5.

4444 Auguste pulling out the sweep!

In reply to WIfan26

Yes he has been trying it from early this season and got out twice with it but he looked to play straight. This time more horizontal with the spin and great effect! Great to see that he is sticking with it!

4444 Auguste pull shot off Mccoy ! Youngster looks good ont he back foot!

Hook shot off the top edge and away for 44444! Fortune favors brave! 51/1 after 7! Solid start from SLK, exceptional based on the returns of the games here!

65/1 from 10

6666666 Quiet for a bit but Charles goes at Maharaj this time with the conventional sweep.

A challenger here. Will it be overturned! Umpire's call just clipping! Not out! Johnno continues!

88/2 after 12.

99/3

Gone! Chase stumped off a wide delivery. Lost his balance and way out of his crease! Never stood a chance! Don't particularly like that rule being stumped off a wide which should be an illegal delivery but it is what it is.

Theekshana strikes
SLK 99/3

102/3 after 15! 10 an over from here 152. Should be over par.

Seifert 45* off 25
Weies 11* off 5.

Top score this! Royals will have to do well to get near this!

162/3 from 20

Good total dat

In reply to Chrissy

Fot 4. Retired is considered out unless for injury.

Royals have been over-reliant on De Kock but this will take a team effort as per SLK. Others must step up like Cornwall, Athanaze , Powell, Alleyne and Miller.

Best score so far on Providence, Kings batted sensibly on this type of pitch which other teams were unable to do, it looks like a winning score,de Kock cyah do it all de time.Gwan KINGS!!!

4444

1-2-3 sixes off that Chase over . 19 from that over! Royals on a tear here!

What's with the Providence crowd size today, the overworked "Muddies gone church" excuse suffices?

Bajans have forced FAF's hand here come the Ace Noor Ahmad and there goes Noor 444444 Alleyne is in a no-nonsense mood.

In reply to voiceofreason

the meds helping....and I home this morning ...was watching my church online

In reply to voiceofreason

Alleyne can bat control and reading the game is his problem

De Kock's version of the switch hit! 44444!

52/0 after 4.

De Kock gawn
56/1

Alleyne 47 off 20 top innings!

Good foundation here still.

Rovman uses his feet and goes through cow corner for 6! Let us see how Govia responds. Good comeback as this one turns away!


82/3 after 9.

Too late to review but better late than never! That was plumb! Noor strikes as the Captain goes!

In reply to DrapseyHe just took a 5fer so I guess he is bowling well. Batting has been terrible.

BTW how about Rovman?

86/4 after 9.4 . RRR in BR's favor but SLK continues to pick up wickets. David Miller out in the middle to join another Leftie in Athanaze!

Rovman gawn
86/4

87/4 after 10.

Time to tighten up the screws with two new batsmen! Carry up the RRR.

97/4 from 12

97/4 after 12.

In reply to Chrissy

Review by SLK straightens and clips but Ump Not out stays! This time out!

Miller times two lol

Wow decision overturned! Ball going down leg. This one bounce and turn! Miller is getting a serious test here!

100/4 after 14 what an over by Noor ! A maiden with two decisions reviewed! Miller survives, but just!

131/5 from 17

32 of 18 balls

131/5 after 17.

In reply to voiceofreason

Naze has some skill...he is better than I think he even realizes

In reply to powen001

Yes he is frustratingly talented.

Wiese to bowl!

Win Probability:
BR 36.29% • SLK 63.71%

SLK don't mind the singles here. 5 for 5 so far.

In reply to voiceofreason

crap...Athanaze gone..

bowled behind his back by Weise

Goneeeee! Well Athanaze went for the pull but that one kept low! Wiese no pace helped ! 19 off 23 . Not a good innings from Athanaze at all.

must go big here...only 18 balls left...

Ever crucial penultimate over to be bowled by Aljo! Needs to keep it tight!

Holder goes straight to a pitched up delivery! Come on Aljo pull it back!

Goneeeeee ! Too quick ! Too good for the young Nyeem!

TanteMerle at Providence..

wicket...

wuhloss...

In reply to powen001 Tante Merle warming up!

Well bowled by Aljo best I have seen him in a while! Bowling that yorker at will!

21 from 6

Brilliant penultimate over 6/1 from Aljo!

Over to you Wiese! BR needs 21 off the final over!

Jason Holder the only hope now but Wiese is crafty!


4444444 off the outside edge fortuitously but BR needed that! Good delivery!

In reply to voiceofreason

Thats a huge ask...

we must hit boundaries...

thats one.

thats a 4..

but we still need more

JAson gone..


sigh.,..


only a miracle now...

never too late to pray

In reply to powen001
Goneeee! Battle of the Royal derby goes to the KINGS!

In reply to powen001Dis done Bro. Tante Merle done start to sing can you not hear her?

SLK we all the way up! Top of the table! 4 wins in a row! In good form but we have to play TKR and GAW next so we will get a better gauge of where we are!

Get rid of cornwall and athanaze they useless you got a young wickham who is better than both of them and he sitting on the bench .smh

Good effort by the Royals but 160 plus on this pitch vs a good attack was always going to be a tough ask. Noor Ahmad is special and he was well supported by Wiese and Aljo.

Big licks dat

El Reyes de Santa Lucia!!!!

In reply to velo

Like that from Johnson Charles! Realised his weakness vs left arm spin and worked on his switch hit. Nice!

In reply to voiceofreason

Good observation.

In reply to voiceofreason

I appreciated that too...
